Every once in a while I say to myself, “Katy, we need some more magazines that indulge our girly nature and produce inquiring thoughts on the male species, sex, make-up, clothes and shoes…think Carrie Bradshaw”. Because of this, today I picked up the latest issue of Cosmopolitan...since it’s either, “go big or go home” or it’s a cheap imitation that full of worse crap. I was stunned, because I fell in love with every shoe and I am admiring what the world’s elite team of fashion designers are thinking is, “fall’s it items”.
The First One – Bringing Back Purple.
This color needed a new boost, since all it’s ever been for fall is the dark maroons and typical fall colors. My favorite thing I have seen is a short dark purple mini-dress, with dark stockings and short black high heeled boots. It puts a new twist on the typical mod look, by adding color.
The Second – Floral Print
God, I am so happy floral made its return last spring so it can help me out this fall. Only with darker prints, now THAT is wonderful.
The Third – Double Handle Bags
It’s been about the “clutch” or the big slouchy “my life is in here bag”. I am loving that there is now an in between that screams, “I am a sophisticated and classy lady” and yet can still hold everything… (and carry it like a tote!!)
It was really a delightful afternoon of reading in the park…and my favorite part is when your reading Cosmopolitan in public and the cover says on it, “The Sex Position They Lust For”. The guys automatically think your reading that part so they throw smiles and “ma-mi’s” your way. Can’t a young single woman in L.A have an afternoon to herself for once while indulging in some fashion?
Dating in L.A is kind of the same thing too…you can’t be on a date (or hang out?) without everyone trying to see who your with. I have found they don’t like to call it dating because nothing is ever serious here and everyone is always looking for the newest, hottest, and younger thing. Guys like to flaunt out who they are taking to dinner, women just like to be treated like a darling princess. This guy I have been seeing for the last week…or weeks is very strange. Not strange as in creeper “strange”, but strange as in how he views this whole “hanging out” concept. He is originally from Central America so his accent is to die for and he speaks English PERFECTLY! He thinks when you like someone you just do what is natural…I am the complete opposite. When you like someone you don’t do stupid thoughtless things to screw up what could be a good relationship. He also thinks that I, “think too much” meaning I need to learn the L.A mentality of not thinking? I very much disagree. He was attracted to me because I had a lot to say that wasn’t necessarily the “norm”. I have been told on my occasions here that I really don’t look like an L.A girl. I take it as a compliment…and I am not going to change for a stereotype of where I am living. I will always fall back to listening to Drake, Dan or any other original Michigan artists over the mainstream and blast them out my genuine 2000 GM Pontiac Bonneville with the Michigan license plate still attached. I might be living in L.A, but it’s just a city...it’s dating rituals and faster/richer lifestyle can’t change deeply ingrained Michigan roots. That shit is deep…believe me. So for this new boy…I wonder some days, will he really be able to handle all this woman’s free spirit? Because I am not backing down for some suave Latin man that does make me smile…just a little. ; )
Wow, this is a long detailed entry…sometimes I enjoy being an open book. You have nothing to hide.
